Dealers only getting 7 cars total this year?
 
I just got off the phone with one of my local dealers (trying to get my hands on an abandoned pre-order) and he was telling me that, regardless of total allocation, most dealers are only getting 7 cars this year. Then, another 12 cars in 2013. Which means, for people like me (#26/35 at my dealer) there's a chance that I won't see my BRZ until late 2013, maybe 2014.

Has anyone else heard anything similar to this?

Is he offering to sell you this car that was "abandoned"?

Yes/no. His dealership didn't do pre-orders at all (Putnam Subaru, Burlingame, CA), and he's getting one car on 5/29. Silver, Premium, 6MT. He flat out told me they're asking $3200 over MSRP, and they have multiple people interested in it, First come, first served. He didn't really try and sell me on it, just mentioned it off hand as I was talking to him.

yupp thats what i've been hearing...this car is going to be very rare on the streets...but dont worry by next year they'll make more then 12 cars...there just trying to scare you...but as for you getting a BRZ this year...highly impossible but if I was you I would look around to see if anybody has backed out on the dealers group buy

That's what I was afraid of. I have a pre-order in, but I'm #26/35 at my dealer, so.....yeah. :sigh:

sounds like a reason to make people pay an extra $3200 IMO...there isnt going to be many cars, but if you really want one it'll be out there somewhere. luckily im 3 of 10 at my dealers so either way i should be good to go!

OP, if you don't mind the drive to SoCal, I might be backing out of either the FRS or BRZ. I have one preordered at Irvine Subaru (Limited SWP MT), and one at Toyota of Pasadena (DGM MT). Trojan_SC already has dibs on the BRZ, but you might be able to get your hands on it, cuz I think he's going the FRS route at ?Carson? Check our SoCal Group Buy thread for updates later on.

I might take you up on that. I'm following up a lead from another thread for a CBS 6MT Limited up in Washington, and if that falls through, I'd probably be interested in the DGM MT.

There is no way that dealers are just getting 7 total. The dealer I ordered from is getting about that many in their first shipment.

My dealer is getting 16 for the year.. they are getting 4 on 5/30.

What he told you is absolutely NOT TRUE.

His off-hand mention of their overpriced example was the entire purpose of the lie above.
